Sagehen Hills (W6/NS-193) SOTA Activation 8/9/2012

More important to me as an activator was that the tree sat in a rocky dip in the ridge that was entirely free of brush on one side. Erecting an antenna is so much easier when everything around you isn't reaching up to grab the wires and lines. The tree had plenty of limbs that would work great as a main support for the antenna, and the top of the rock formation would be a nifty place to anchor one end.
